Can anyone tell me  during "steal supply" missions which vehicles other than the tank and the white rusty van can be transported with the cargobob?

There's a Burrito van you can airlift. (The mission where you have to kill a bunch of Merryweather people first).

 

I don't remember what else.

When does the Bunker not produce stock? Does it work while golfing?

while you're manually resupplying it or you're offline

I've noticed that my second character no longer has APCs in the Merryweather convoy resupply mission, they've turned into gunless Insurgents, while my first character still has to go up against the big guns.

From a lazy point of view, I would like to know if it would be possible to get APC-free with both characters.

Really? That's it? And I think during a sale mission. But wow... That's great, then.

Now you've gained my interest. Might be dependent on how many missions you've done? So it changes? Interesting.

That's because your second character hasn't done the APC mission you trigger inside the MOC. Once you do that, the insurgents in that resupply mission turn into APCs.

I really f*cking wished there was a way to reverse that change. Goddamn do I hate dealing with an APC+Valkyrie

I use my oppressor mk2 and take out the valkyrie and land. After they spawn kill me a couple times the insurgents are usually close enough to kill the gunner and make them stop. Then i take the insurgent drive ahead of the apc, look back with R3 and shoot them through the front window and steal the apc.

I know how to complete it, but that right there is the main problem with having APCs instead of Insurgents. Each death causes time loss. Hopping on my little sis' account to help her resupply showed me how much faster/easier it is than my account because of those APCs.

No, I'm quite confident that she's done less missions than he did. But the reply below yours provides an excellent answer:

This is correct. She doesn't own an MOC, which Agent 14 will not let me forget either. 

So there's no way back. Bummer.

Ever since these Merryweather halfwits learned how to use the big gun these missions have become a bit of a nuisance.

Yeah. Like that. I use the buzzard, but that's the jist of it.

I prefer hovering around dodging APC fire and picking off the Insurgents untill the APC driver gets himself stuck and climbs out to throw rocks at me.

 

I swear though, they didn't use to return fire from the APC, right? That's a new thing.

And they don't always do it either. On Elysian Island they always return fire, but at Great Chaparral they sometimes don't for reasons I can't clearly define right now and when they're stuck in that covered bridge on Zancudo River they pretty much can't anyway. By the time the APC has wrestled itself out of the jammed motorcade they've fogotten how to shoot.

I'm getting in my Insurgent pick up custom, drive to the location and climb on the .50 cal insurgent gun. Then I shot down helicopter and wait for the convoy. When I see convoy I start shooting at the APC driver first and when APC stops (drivers' dead) I use my .50 cal to deal with other Merry Weather NPCs. Then I just take APC and deliver it to the bunker. Usually takes about  2 min plus driving time. Important thing is to get Insurgent facing convoy head on, so APC cannon won't tip your vehicle over. If you miss  APC driver, you just shoot other NPCs, chase APC and shoot driver with your sub machine gun or pistol. Barrage will work too for that, maybe even regular insurgent or nightshark - you just need vehicle which can withstand few APC shots and which you can shoot APC driver from. Actually I like APC supply better than just regular insurgent -  APC stronger, it goes anywhere and you can use cannon if somebody's chasing you.
